Rate My Professor Suero Molina

Eric Suero Molina serves as Honorary Senior Lecturer in Macquarie Medical School at Macquarie University. He is a neurosurgeon and university lecturer at the University Hospital of Münster, Germany, where he created and leads the minimally invasive skull base surgery program. His expertise extends to neuro-oncology and spine surgery, and he leads a research group in optical and hyperspectral imaging of brain tumors at the University of Münster. Dr. Suero Molina graduated in Medicine from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Münster and completed neurosurgical training at the same university. He holds a master’s degree in business administration in international healthcare management from the Frankfurt School of Business and Management. He is currently pursuing a computational neurosurgery fellowship at the Computational NeuroSurgery (CNS) Lab at Macquarie University, where he contributes to the Computational Neurosurgery Lab project as Primary Chief Investigator.

His research specializations include minimally invasive skull base surgery, neuro-oncology, spine surgery, computational neurosurgery, and advanced imaging techniques such as optical and hyperspectral imaging for brain tumors. Dr. Suero Molina co-edited the book Computational Neurosurgery (Springer, 2024), authoring chapters on artificial intelligence in brain tumors, artificial intelligence, radiomics, and computational modeling in skull base surgery, machine and deep learning in hyperspectral fluorescence-guided brain tumor surgery, large language models in neurosurgery, and others. Key publications include "Predicting intraoperative 5-ALA-induced tumor fluorescence via MRI and deep learning in gliomas with radiographic lower-grade characteristics" (Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2025), "Integrating mass spectrometry and hyperspectral imaging for protoporphyrin IX detection in malignant glioma tissue" (Scientific Reports, 2025), and "Cranial nerve rhizopathies caused by cerebellopontine angle mass lesions and coexisting neurovascular conflict" (Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2026). With 95 research outputs, comprising 59 articles, 15 review articles, and 10 chapters, his work influences computational approaches in neurosurgery. Awards include the Axel-Perneczky-Scholarship (German Society of Neurosurgery, 2018), Karl Storz-Scholarship (2019), and Maria-Möller-Stiftung (2017). He serves as a reviewer for the journal Cancers.
